The point I was trying to make earlier was that I don't like knee jerk
error messages. Some people put an error message after every line
without thinking about it. It's a very common source of bugs is to
have a NULL dereference like:
if (!dev) {
pr_err("no device %s", dev->name);
return -EINVAL;
}
It's a pet peeve of mine. It should just be:
if (!dev)
return -EINVAL;
But in the future I will be more careful in how I say it. Sorry again.

dan carpenter
